he's all grown up!

Oh man break my heart. Not only is he going to turn five next month but he will be in Kindergarten next year! This makes me so sad. I am way too sentimental.

For Ammon's end of preschool party the class had a Luau. He loved it. They had volleyball, tattoo's, fishing, digging in sand for sea creatures, art projects, dress up and more. The teachers made a slide show of pictures from the school year and when they showed the dramatic play pictures it was no surprise to see Ammon in almost every one dressed up in some crazy costume.

They also had a beach scene set up to take pictures of the kids in front of. Next to it were a bunch of beach clothes to put on. I got Ammon and I all dressed up and asked someone to take our picture. Unfortunately I asked the wrong mom. Joleene's mom. Joleene is Ammon's first real crush. He talks about her all of the time and says how beautiful she is. He wouldn't take a picture with me because he was too shy in front of her mom! After the party he told me that he gave Joleene a hug goodbye because they won't be at the same school next year. I can't believe I missed it! Every time he talks about her he gets a embarrassed/flirty look on his face. I tried to get a picture of them together today at his last day of school but she wasn't there! Hopefully she will come to his party next month.

Ammon is looking much older lately. He is also understanding more. The other day he brought me one of Alex's tampons and asked me what they were for. I made him go ask his dad. He's come a long way from getting them out of the garbage and putting them in his mouth, right Kas and Linds? (He did this at snowbird one time and Kasey gave him a box of them for Xmas as a joke.) He suddenly doesn't like to change in front of other people when we are at swim lessons and makes me close the curtain in the bathroom. The other day I was in the shower with Cohen and I wouldn't let him in because he's too old to see me naked and he was saying, "but that's not fair!" Someday he'll thank me. I just can't believe it's almost been five years since I had this sweet boy. It's going way too fast.
